"What did you two do?" Leaning against the door at the entrance to the Hokage Building, Kakashi complained to the belated duo with black lines.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I discussed with Sakura about going shopping after that."

Kakashi looked at Sakura, whose face was full of apologies, sighed, turned around and pushed open the entrance door as he walked inside, "It's better not to do this next time, come in with me." ”

……

"It's nicely decorated in this house."

Aino, who was walking upstairs behind Kakashi's ass, turned his little head around, constantly looking at his surroundings.

And Kakashi saw that Sakuraku didn't care, so he naturally didn't bother to care, but after thinking about it, he added, "When I see Hokage-sama later...... Well...... You get the idea. ”

"Don't worry, I'll watch Ai Ye."

Of course, Sakuraku knew what Kakashi was worried about, and after a few days of contact, Aino likes to give people nicknames, and the image of a mischievous bear child has been particularly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Hey! Dead Fisheye! ”

What did he say, but Ai Ye stopped what he was doing, and said to Kakashi with a disapprehensive face, "What do you mean by this!" Are you saying I'm a big bear kid? ”

Isn't it? ’

Of course, Kakashi couldn't say this, he pulled his mask, and after telling Sakura a few words again, he turned around and continued walking, ignoring Aino who was pinching his waist at all.

"I ...... Hey...... This dead fisheye! ”

Aino felt embarrassed for a moment when he saw Kakashi ignoring him, but then he laughed angrily, only to see her grinding her teeth and muttering something softly.

Others may not be able to hear clearly, but Sakuraku can still hear a little clearly, such as "I curse you for not finding a girlfriend in your life", "When you go out to buy vegetables, the price of vegetables will rise", "Eat instant noodles without seasoning packets", "Tear your nails and barbs and tear off a large piece of meat"

"Shhhh......h

Sakuraki gasped when she heard this, everything else is good to say that it's all cliché, but in the end, this ...... It's also a little too ruthless, tearing off a barb and tearing off a large piece of meat, Sakura Raku feels her scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"Ahem...... Let's go, let's go, don't curse Kakashi......"

Sakuraku coughed lightly, interrupting Aino's spell before quickly taking her hand to catch up with Kakashi.

……

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Seeing that the two of them had caught up with him, Kakashi motioned for them to stand behind him, and then knocked on the door in front of him with the word fire written on it.

"Come in ......"

A neutral voice came from inside the door, and Kakashi, who had received permission, stepped forward and pushed open the door while saying, "Hokage-sama, I brought them here. ”

"Oh, hard work."

An old man who looked to be about sixty years old sat behind an oversized desk full of papers, and next to the papers was a hat with the word fire written on it.

The curious Ai Ye glanced at the documents, and found that most of them were commissions of missions, and there were some things of unknown meaning, which looked like ciphers.

"I've learned about the two of you from Kakashi."

The old man's angry voice drew Ai Ye's gaze away from the pile of papers of unknown significance.

"But I'd rather see you both in person than a report."

Ai Ye subconsciously wanted to pout when he heard this, but fortunately, he barely managed to control his facial expression that was about to get out of control, and Sakuraku glanced at Kakashi, who had been standing honestly since he entered the room, pretending to be an air man.

"Well, I wonder what we should call you?"

Sakuraku saw that Kakashi couldn't be relied on, so he had to go into battle himself, and after putting an impeccable smile on his face, he said to the old man, "My name is Sakuraku, and this little girl's name is Aino. ”

"Didn't Kakashi mention me to you......"

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Kakashi, who had a slightly embarrassed expression, and then coughed lightly and said, "Well...... Then I'll introduce myself, I'm the Hokage of Konoha Village. ”

Speaking of this, the old man remembered the hermit mentioned in Kakashi's report, hesitated for a moment and added, "You can understand me as the village chief of Konoha Village." ”

"That's a ......"

Sakuraku pretended to be surprised when she heard this, then took a half step back, and by the way, she patted Ai Ye and bent down slightly and said to the Hokage, "It seems that the behavior just now was a little rude, and I hope that the Hokage-sama will forgive me." ”

'As for that......

Ai Ye was a little reluctant, after all, he had never saluted anyone other than the Lord of the Gods, but Sakuraku had done so, so he had to show sincerity.

'For the task, for the task, for the task......

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama~~"

Aino silently told himself that this was for the mission, and at the same time pretended to be a little girl's expression, clumsily learning Sakura's movements, and bowed to the Hokage.

'This guy ......'

Kakashi looked at Ai Ye, who had a little girl's posture, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"Hahaha, don't be so restrained."

The Hokage laughed a few times and then said to the two, "I have heard about what happened in the country of waves, and I would like to thank you for your help in place of Kakashi. ”

"It's not a big deal." Sakuraku pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.

Looking at Sakuraku's humble attitude, the Hokage nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "I wonder what you guys plan to do next?" ”

'Huh? Why don't you mention the more than 100 people? ’

Ai Ye frowned slightly, and glanced at the Hokage a little puzzled, it is impossible for Kakashi not to write this kind of thing in the report, what the hell is this old man doing?

"You should know where we came from, Hokage-sama." Sakuraku didn't answer the Hokage's question directly, but instead threw the question at the Hokage in turn.

"Well, Kakashi's report says you're recluses."

The Hokage nodded and said with a sigh on his face, "I didn't expect that there are really hermits who can't escape the world now, I don't know where you are taught?" Maybe it's an acquaintance of mine. ”

"Master, his old man's name, we don't know." Sakura shook her head with a regretful expression and said, "His old man never told us, and even if we asked, he only said that he was an ominous person, and it would not be good for us to know his name. ”

'Ominous again......

Listening to Sakuraku's nonsense, the corners of Ai Ye's inner villain's mouth twitched, and for this reason, she had heard it no less than five times.

"Is that ......?"

Naturally, the Hokage couldn't know what Ai Ye was thinking, but after listening to Sakuraku's words, he nodded slightly and said, "Can you two still find the place where you practiced at the beginning?" If I could, I would like to visit your Master in person. ”

"Our ashram is an island."

Sakuraku shook her head regretfully again and said, "After the two of us left the island, the island was immediately shrouded in a mist, and we also tried to find it, but ...... All ended in failure. ”

Speaking of this, Sakuraku suddenly showed a sad expression and said, "And even if you find it, you won't be able to visit Master and his old man's house." ”

Hearing this, the Hokage was slightly stunned, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked softly in a confirmed tone, "Could it be that he is already ......?"

Sakuraku saw that the Hokage was halfway through speaking, and naturally knew that he was taking care of his and Aino's feelings.

But if you make up nonsense, you must make up a complete set, so she sighed slightly and said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Master, he is an old man...... Three years ago, he had already driven to the west. ”

'I have to pretend to cry again, it's troublesome......

Ai Ye, who has worked with Sakuraki for many years, when he heard the last sentence, the villain in his heart had a bitter face.

I have to cry every time I say this.,When you have the chance, you have to react to Sister Sakurara.,Don't use this reason next time.。

Although Ai Ye thought so in her heart, her face was already full of tears, and she pulled Sakura's short skirt, looked at Sakuraluo with her little face with rain pear blossoms that was already crying, and said in a crying voice: "Sister Sakuraluo...... Don't say it, I want to eat the cake that Master made him. ”

Seeing this, Sakura quickly squatted down, hugged Ai Ye, patted her on the back, and said gently: "Ai Ye is good~~~ Sister will make ...... for you at night"

'I'm !! ’

The Kakashi who witnessed all this was stupid, he didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face these two people now, if you want to say that this is pretending, then this acting is too good, but if this is not pretending, it will be a bit unreasonable.

At this time, the Hokage was also a little numb, he looked at the two people who were immersed in sadness and suddenly didn't know how to speak, why do you interject, people are shedding tears, and the reason is caused by himself.

But judging by Kakashi's report, didn't these two deliberately hide their origins?

'Are you sure they're pretending?' ’

The Hokage cast an inquiring look at Kakashi, who looked confused.

'This ...... I don't know......

Kakashi, who had already turned into a star, cast a bewildered look at the Hokage.

'Is this the extent to which it can be pretended?' ’

The Hokage looked at Sakura, who seemed to be affected by Ai Ye's feelings, and even Sakura, who was starting to shed tears himself, cast a suspicious look at Kakashi, he began to wonder if this old boy was lying about the military situation, if this was really acting, then he would have to catch all the theater actors in Konoha today and learn how to act with Sakuraku and Ai Ye!

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama......"

Sakuraku, who had adjusted her emotions, put Ai Ye, whose eyes were red from crying, on the ground and said, "I'm delaying your time." ”

"Ahem......"

The Hokage coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment, "It's okay, it's okay, it's me who should apologize, and I shouldn't mention your sadness." ”

In short, because of this accident, it is obvious that there is no way to continue the topic of origin.

"I wonder what you two are going to do next?" The Hokage adjusted his thoughts and asked the two of them with a smile again.

"Master, his old man asked the two of us to come out and see the world before he died."

Sakuraku responded to the Hokage with a forced smile on her face, "Konoha is the first big country that Ai Ye and I came to, and because of the incident in the country of waves, the two of us have also made some friends, if you can, can you let us stay in Konoha." ”

"Hmm......" Hokage touched his beard when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "There's nothing wrong with staying, but ......"

"Of course we won't eat rice."

Sakuraki grabbed ahead of the Hokage and said, "I'm very confident in my sword skills. ”

Speaking of this, Sakuraku patted Ai Ye's head and said again: "And Ai Ye has a little healing means, like the task of the country of waves, the two of us should be competent." ”

"Hahaha...... That's not what I meant......"

Hokage smiled and said, "Well, your relationship with Naruto Sasuke, Kakashi also told me, why don't you do this, I incorporated you into Konoha's special shinobi, and the main task is to assist Kakashi in guiding the three disciples under him, how do you two feel?" ”

'How did this sell me!?' ’

Kakashi was a little confused, he originally thought that his task was to bring Sakuraku and Aino back to Konoha and it would be over, after all, these two people are a hot potato, if he can, of course he doesn't want to deal with them too much, and the reason why he didn't run away immediately after sending them over was also because of Hokage's order, but now it seems.

'Hokage-sama, you're too bad to bring this!' ’

Kakashi grumbled and looked at the smiling Hokage and said secretly, "He didn't plan to do that in the first place. ’

"Yes, but ......"

Sakuraku said to the Hokage with a little hesitation: "Is this okay just like this, I won't tell you the truth, Ai Ye and I don't actually have much money on us anymore." ”

"Don't worry about this......"

Hokage smiled, pointed at Kakashi, and said, "I'll ask Kakashi to bring you money every month, as a reward for you teaching his disciples, and if you two still don't want to go, I'll ask for your help when I need your mission." ”

After Sakuraku and Ai Ye glanced at each other when they heard this, they showed a grateful expression, and bent down slightly to the Hokage and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"Well, I'm the one who should say that."

After the Hokage smiled, he ignored Kakashi's depressed expression and said, "Kakashi, you take them to the rental house, I've already asked Genma to say hello." ”

“…… Be. ”

Kakashi turned his head a little helplessly and said to Sakuraku and Aino, "Come with me." ”

"Excuse me......"

The two thanked Kakashi and followed him out of the Hokage's office......

After seeing the three of them leave, the Hokage sighed and said to himself, "These two people are not easy to deal with." ”

With that, he stood up and walked to the window, took out his pipe from his coat, lit it, and looked at Sakuraku and Aino who followed Kakashi out of the exit......

'Recluse......

Hokage's eyes narrowed.

'There's value in investigating......
